(Assuming I implemented it correctly!) It's the logical negation of
this trick: https://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#DetermineIfPowerOf2
So, it's "VM_BUG_ON(reason is *not* a power of 2)".

Maybe the double negation makes it overly confusing? It ought to be
equivalent if we remove it and just say:
VM_BUG_ON(!reason || (reason & (reason - 1)));

Makes sense, I can send a v9 with a helper for this defined. I'll wait
until at least next week to do so, to pick up any other comments v8
may get in the meantime.
